Antique French 18K Turquoise Enamel Heart Locket with Seed Pearls and Secret Glass Partition c. 1840

Antique French 18K Turquoise Enamel Heart Locket with Seed Pearls and Secret Glass Partition c. 1840

This charming and heavily engraved Victorian heart locket has an exquisite central turquoise cabochon surrounded by seed pearls and decorative enamel. The locket is small and puffed with a beautiful central hinged glass partition which protects a photo of a little girl who grew up far before our time. Hiding behind the photo, a little piece of hair is tucked away; a sweet sentimental reminder of its previous life which can be kept and cherished or replaced by a trinket of your own. The back of the locket is as beautifully decorated as the front. It would make a great addition to any collection or a romantic and thoughtful Valentine's gift for the antique lover in your life.

CONDITION NOTES:
Excellent antique condition. There is a small chip to the top of the turquoise,visible in photos. The bail is not soldered, a thoughtful detail to avoid melting the delicate enamel but avoid sudden tugs. Closes securely with a strong hinge. Please note the size as the heart charm is small. I've zoomed in so you can see the details more clearly
